OzFx System :) 100-800 Pips Per Trade

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the update, O Z.

The Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator is not well known in the TS circle, but it seems to be a staple with Metatraders. Code listed below is a similar system without the use of stochastics, using the Awesome Oscillator and Parabolic SAR stops. Perhaps those who use Metatrader could report on the result of this similar system:

Hello Friends,

 

 

It is good to be back home. I had a nice short vacation and I am so glad to see that people have kept the forums busy and alive in the meantime. I’d loads of email/PMs to reply back and I hope everyone received the reply. I also tried my best to read every single post on the forums and reply where ever I could. If I’ve missed out on anyone then please send me an email and I’ll reply back to you.

 

 

When I left we had 5 trades open, out of which EUR/USD performed just great. I closed it at +445 pips at 1.5000. If you are still in the trade then you should be looking at +530 pips right now.

 

 

EUR/GBP second lot closed at +100, currently at +130.

CAD/JPY closed at BE after making +100.

CHF/JPY got closed out at -150.

And finally USD/JPY closed out at BE after making +50

 

 

GBP/CHF trade from today had already made +50 and I’ve moved the Stop Loss to Break Even icon_smile.gif

 

Total for the month now is +1265 and so far we have 33/39 successful trades.

 

 

Oz

2. AUD/JPY - Short - 2nd lot closed at +100

3. NZD/JPY - Short - 1st lot closed at +100

4. EUR/GBP - Long - Already had 3rd lot closed at +150

 

Month Total: +1615

OzFx, congratulations on finding something that works for you. You apparently have the edge that so many seek. Way to go!

 

If I may make one suggestion - it would be more realistic to people reading your thread if you converted your "total pips" earned into pips equivalent to the full size you are using. For example, if you are trading 7 lots and booked profits as follows:

 

+50 on first lot,

+100 on second lot

+150 on third lot

+200 on fourth lot

+300 on fifth lot

+400 on sixth lot

+500 on seventh lot

 

Since you are using 1/7th of your entire position in each scaleout:

 

size = 1/7

 

The actual total amount earned as if you held the full 7 lots to the very end would be:

 

(50*size) + (100*size) + (150*size) + (200 * size) + (300 * size) + (400 * size) + (500 * size)

 

which equals 242.8 pips of profit on 7 full lots.

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the method you are using simply adds up all of the pip sizes of the various scale-outs (in this case, it would be: 50+100+150+200+300+400+500 = 1700 pips).

 

Stating that your total pip profits is 1700 pips sounds a lot more impressive than 242.8 pips, but it is misleading (particularly to people new to forex).

 

I personally have always preferred people who have computed the total pip profit or loss that is translated into equivalent full-size positions (if we know the size used). It's far more realistic.

 

Just a thought...

The way I post pips is that I add/subtract the maximum pips you could have won/lost on a pair. If a trade makes +300 pips I don't add 50+100+150+200+300 = 800 pips. I only record 300. Same goes for losses.

 

If I do the way you think I am do it then it would result in more than 10000 pips :)

 

hope it make sense.

I still need a little clarification, if you don't mind.

 

Let's take this as an example: You trade 3 lots and close one lot at each of the following profit targets:

 

First lot: +100

2nd lot: +150

3rd lot: +500

 

How would you calculate your total profit? Would it be +500?

 

Thanks.

Hello Friends,

 

 

What a great Friday we had. We were able to bank +550 pips in 3 trades which were opened the same morning. I expect these pairs to consolidate a little bit before falling further next week. I am holding all my positions for now.

 

 

Friday was a great day to end Feb. We achieved a total of +1865 pips which is more than Jan. Last month not only was short but we also faced slow market movement for first 12 or so days due to Chinese New Year holidays, plus I had my personal 3 days off. I hope everyone achieved similar success.

 

 

If you would like then please leave a feedback here

 

 

Currently Open Positions:

 

1. EUR/JPY - Short - 3rd lot closed at +150

2. AUD/JPY - Short - 4th lot closed at +200

3. NZD/JPY - Short - 4th lot closed at +200

4. EUR/GBP - Long - Already had 3rd lot closed at +150

 

 

Have a great weekend.

Thats right. I would only add 500 to total pip count. Same for losses. It basically shows that how much you could have made/lost using the system regardless of MM method you using.

Im kinda confused how much you make (or loose) is a direct function of the MM you deploy isn't it?

 

EDIT: Having said that your MM is clear so if you report +300 that means that price has hit T3 or greater before hitting your stop? But then was stopped on the remainder?

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

 

The only problem with your method is that people will get an incorrect idea of how much money they can make, especially if the people who are interested are new to forex. For example, many newbies will simply multiply the 500 pip total by the dollar amount per pip that they are trading to derive a possible income. But as you and I both know, that's not the way it works in reality, because anyone worth their salt will employ money-management techniques that involve removing portions of the entry from the table (scaling out), to protect the entry and ensure profitability. That's why I prefer the method I explained earlier. It gives a realistic indication of how much profit you have actually made and doesn't inflate reality.

 

Your system seems to have some merit, but everyone should convince themselves with a good prolonged period of testing on their own before they commit any cash to it.

 

Kudo's to you for your willingness to share.

Re-Cap from post 1:-

______________________________________________________________

Money Management:

 

* Trade with 5 Lots with Stop Loss 100 pips away

* Take Profit on 1st Lot at 50 pips. Move Stop Loss to Break Even (BE).

* Take Profit on 2nd Lot at 100 pips.

* Take Profit on 3rd Lot at 150 pips.

* Take Profit on 4th Lot at 200 pips.

* Let the 5th Lot run until you see an opposite entry signal.

______________________________________________________________

 

So when you report +100 it is

2/5@ +100 | 3/5 Scratch

 

Makes sense now :)

 

Cheers.

If the price is hit 300 then we have closed 4 lots and fifth lot is at 300.

When I report +100 it means that first lot closed at +50 and second closed at +100. 3 lots still in play.

Hello Friends,

 

 

We had an excellent start for this month. Though marred by slow market due to NFP we still manage to bank +350 Pips. We only took 4 trades last week and all 4 of them were successful.

Some traders mentioned not getting filled on 2nd profit target for USD/CAD when we saw sudden price movement just after the news release. I can’t emphasize enough about trading with a good broker for same reason. All positions on my account and on managed accounts got filled easily.

 

 

We have 4 open positions at this stage, all in green and currently we stand at 41/47 successful trades.

 

 

Have a great weekend.

Hello Friends,

 

Few days back I mentioned reconsidering 200SMA filter rule and now I am convinced that we can relax this rule a bit specially in times when most pairs are trending against the established trend. So here is what I recommend:

 

1. Wait for AC to cross “0″ line.

2. Go down to 4hr and 1hr to see if you still see AC and Stot in the same direction.

3. Risk less percent of equity for trades against the trend.

 

I would welcome your ideas and thoughts on this.

 

Cheers,

Oz

Hello Friends,

 

I don't see any good trades. Also due to "May Day" holiday I would recommend not to trade today. Later I'll send an email with updated open and closed positions.

    • I'm pretty sure that a Russian resident would say that recessions are real today. Their prime interest rate is 21%, their corporate military contractors are threatening to file bankruptcy, and sticks of butter are kept under lock and key in their grocery stores because shoplifters are stealing it in bulk so they can resell it on the black market. A downturn is cyclical until it turns into a collapse. I really don't think anyone will be buying-into this mess.😬
    • Well said. This principle is highly analogous to trading. Any human can easily click buy or sell when they "feel" that price is about to go up or down. The problem with feeling, commonly referred to as "instinctive" trading, is that it cannot be quantified. And because it cannot be quantified, it cannot be empirically tested. Instinctive trading has the lowest barrier to entry and therefore returns the lowest reward. As this is true for most things in life, this comes as no surprise. Unfortunately, the lowest barrier to entry is attractive to new traders for obvious reasons. This actually applied to me decades ago.🤭   It's only human nature to seek the highest amount of reward in exchange for the lowest amount of work. In fact, I often say that there is massive gray area between efficiency and laziness. Fortunately, losing for a living inspired me to investigate the work of Wall Street quants who refer to us as "fishfood" or "cannonfodder." Although I knew that we as retail traders cannot exploit execution rebates or queues like quants do, I learned that we can engage in automated scalp, swing, and trend trading. The thermonuclear caveat here, is that I had no idea how to write code (or program) trading algorithms. So I gravitated toward interface-based algorithm builders that required no coding knowledge (see human nature, aforementioned). In retrospect, I should never have traded code written by builder software because it's buggy and inefficient. However, my paid subscription to the builder software allowed me to view the underlying source code of the generated trading algo--which was written in MQL language. Due to a lack of customization in the builder software, I inevitably found myself editing the code. This led me to coding research which, in turn, led me to abandoning the builder software and coding custom algo's from scratch. Fast forward to the present, I can now code several trading strategies per day across 2 different platforms. Considering how inefficient manual backtesting is, coding is a huge advantage. When a new trading concept hits me, I can write the algo, backtest it, and optimize it within an hour or so--across multiple exchanges and symbols, and cycle through hundreds of different settings for each input. And then I get pages upon pages of performance metrics with the best settings pre-highlighted. Having said all of this, I am by no means an advanced programmer. IMHO, advanced programmers write API gateways, construct their own custom trading platforms, use high end computers with field programmable gateway array chips, and set up shop in close proximity to the exchanges. In any event, a considerable amount of work is required just to get toward the top of the "fishfood"/"cannonfodder" pool. Another advantage of coding is that it forces me to write trade entry and exit conditions (triggers) in black & white, thereby causing me to think microscopically about my precise trade trigger conditions. For example, I have to decide whether the algo should track the slope, angle, and level of each bar price and indicator to be used. Typing a hard number like 50 degrees of angle into code is a lot different than merely looking at a chart myself and saying, that's close enough.  Code doesn't acknowledge "maybe" nor "feelings." Either the math (code) works (is profitable) or doesn't work (is a loser). It doesn't get angry, sad, nor overly optimistic. And it can trade virtually 24 hours per day, 5 days per week. If you learn to code, you'll eventually reach a point where coding an algo that trades as you intended provides its own sense of accomplishment. Soon after, making money in the market merely becomes a side effect of your new job--coding. This is how I compete, at least for now, in this wide world of trading. I highly recommend it.
